org-cite and pandoc

[Eric S Fraga]

Dear list,

I am needing to export a document, written in org using the new cite
syntax, to pandoc (native).  The export fails.  I realise that org-cite
is new and I don't expect the export to process any [cite:@key] lines
properly but it would be good to have the export at least generate a
pandoc file I can then work with.  Is this possible?

I recognise fully that ox-pandoc is in contrib so I don't expect
anything as such!  In the meantime, I'll simply remove all [cite:]
entries but I thought I'd raise this issue.

The error (with paths elided and lines truncated) I get is:
